There were originally two wikis for the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. These were: SmashWiki, hosted by <span class="plainlinks">[http://smashboards.com/ Smash World Forums]</span> and founded by [[Smasher:Gideon|Gideon]] (earliest known edit August 12, 2006), and the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, hosted by [[wikipedia:Wikia|Wikia]] and founded by [[User:Alexir55|Alexir55]] (founded April 2, 2007). On February 29, 2008, SmashWiki merged with the Super Smash Bros. Wiki on Wikia (usually referred to as "SmashWikia"). This stayed for over 2 years.
